City officials in Des Moines have agreed to pay $125,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by a man who was detained for filming police officers who were illegally parked. Police said Daniel Robbins was behaving suspiciously. They did not arrest him, but they did seize his phone and camera and only returned them two weeks later after his lawyer demanded it.
